Like many other titles on the Nintendo 3DS, Pokémon Shuffle is capable of being updated. However, in addition to the standard patch system which comes with the Nintendo 3DS system, Pokémon Shuffle allows you to get the updates in-game. This is done by using the Check In function. This will connect you to the Internet and ask if you wish to download the Extra Data.

This data typically includes data for events but it is not yet known how far these updates will go. If you delete the Extra Data after playing with it, you will be prompted to redownload it before you can boot the game up again.

Version History

Version 1.0.*

The first version is the rather standard version which came with the game's release date. It contains 150 standard stages, 20 Expert stages and 158 different species of Pokémon.

The first patch version required a redownload of the game software after attempting to Check In or it could be downloaded through the Nintendo 3DS eShop.
It added an extra note for the Hearts to allow for 5 hearts to appear and regenerate in addition to the amount you have over the usual amount of 5 meaning that you have 5 regenerating hearts in addition to any extra.

If you have purchased between 5 and 9 Jewels in a month, your regenerated hearts can go up to 6 and you get 600 coins with each check in. If you have purchased over 10 Jewels in a month, your regenerated hearts can go up to 7 and you get 700 coins with each check in. This lasts until the end of the month you purchased the Jewels in.
